Tasting notes
Flinty, smoky gooseberries, green apples and herbs on the nose. Medium body on the palate with fresh, medium acidity and a round, medium-length finish. This is a little less nervy than 2021 that was tasted alongside. Drink now.

Sunflower yellow, more golden compared to most in the lineup (and this difference that was also clear with the same wine in the 2021 vintage, all tasted blind). Edge of silky caramel, with rich citrus, just not capturing the freshness that you hope for in white Bordeaux, and the impact of the vintage is evident. I suggest looking to the excellent 2021 vintage at this estate. 30% new oak, 20% one year barrels, rest in stainless steel vats.
About the producer
If there’s one Moulis estate you know, it is likely Chasse-Spleen, today owned by the Foubet family. Vines have been planted here since the 16th century, and today it has an impressive 100 hectares to its name.
